As long as one is True to El Grande, as long as one refrains from Chileblasphemy, as long as one keeps an open mind and devoutly seeks Enlightenment and Understanding in and of All Things Chile, El Grande will provide, will protect, and will accept your silence. But wander from the True Path, waste a Chile, speak poorly about Twister [TM!] and your silence will end for your screams will be heard 'round the world as your flesh is flayed by the Long Red Whippersnapper of El Grande. El Grande don't cotton to naysayers or the like... :) In El Grande's Name- Chile -- Peace, Hendrix, and Chiles....... Rael64 Monk of the TCS Order of Enlightened Twister [TM!]
